Introduced
by
To transfer to the general fund $15 million from the state survey and remonumentation fund. General fund money supports state discretionary spending, and (mostly) comes from state taxes. Survey and remonumentation money comes from "fees" paid by citizens when recording a deed, mortgage, etc. This is considered a "fee," not a tax, because it is intended for a purpose related to private property ownership, which deed recording is designed to protect. That purpose is to replace missing and inaccurate property markers that serve as the basis for all public and private property locations.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
